Hey PH 👋
I'm a huge hip hop fan and I've always wanted to build a product like this!
I compiled a list of over one hundred upcoming rappers and used APIs and scrapers to get over 2,600 total data points!
You can sort, filter, and search the following data:
- Gender, age, location, record label, and region
- SoundCloud follower and track count
- Instagram, twitter, and facebook follower data
- YouTube subscriber data, plays, and video count
- Spotify popularity, followers, track count
I think this is particularly useful/monetizable for:
💿 record labels looking for new talent
🥁 concert/entertainment venues that want to gauge the size of the audience of an artists
🎧 artists looking to collaborate with other artists
😎 finding artists "before it was cool"
The data is crowdsourced, so if you see missing data or something is wrong, please fix it! And please add new artists if you see any missing.
I built this whole project in 24 hours on Twitch! You can find the video on my channel twitch.tv/patwalls
P.S. Oh and sorry SSL isn't working here. Waiting on Cloudflare (hope to be hooked up by the morning :) edit: SSL fixed

Although I am not a big fan of hiphop, I love your way of building products in the public. This is exactly what motivates makers all over the world to finally ship their awesome side projects and publish them here. Kudos to @thepatwalls !
